Beautiful texture, simple stitches, and a cozy hat you'll love wearing!
Ready to take your knitting beyond basic stockinette? Join us to knit the Knox Hat, a cozy, textured beanie that uses simple knits and purls to create a beautiful shell pattern. Worked in bulky yarn, this hat is a fun, satisfying project that knits up quickly!
In this class, you'll practice following a textured stitch pattern, working in the round, and shaping the crown with decreases. It's a great way to build your knitting confidence while creating a hat that looks more complicated than it is!
Never knit a hat before? You're welcome, too! We'll help you get started with a basic beanie so you can learn the fundamentals of knitting hats in the round before tackling more advanced stitch patterns.
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner. You should know how to cast on, knit, and purl. Experience knitting in the round is helpful but not required.
Materials Needed:
- Bulky weight yarn (approximately 120 yards) purchased at Tink & The Frog
- US 8 (5 mm) 16" circular knitting needles
- US 10.5 (6.5 mm) 16" circular knitting needles + double pointed needles
- Stitch markers and tapestry needle
- Knox Hat pattern (we can print you a copy, too)
Homework Before Class: If you're making the Knox Hat, please complete the ribbed brim before class so we can jump right into the textured stitch pattern together! If you're new to knitting hats or knitting in the round, no homework is needed—we'll help you get started in class.
